The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E 350 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving electrical fuses that can fail unexpectedly, cutting drive power or disabling airbags and the instrument cluster while driving.
Two other wiring recalls affect 4MATIC variants specifically: loose ground connections in the wiring harness can overheat and create a fire risk, and the transmission wiring harness may run too close to the driveshaft, where it can wear through and cause a sudden loss of drive power. A fourth recall addresses a software error in the infotainment system that can quietly disable certain safety features, including the automatic emergency braking function that applies the brakes when cross traffic is detected.
